Securian Financial Teams Up with iGrad to Offer the Enrich Financial Wellness Platform to Retirement Plan Clients
Securian Financial will be offering the award-winning Enrich Financial Wellness platform, created by iGrad, to its retirement plan clients and their employees at no additional cost.
San Diego, CA, October 21, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Securian Financial has teamed up with San Diego-based financial education company iGrad to offer the award-winning Enrich™ financial wellness platform to its retirement plan employer clients and their employees, at no additional cost.
Called Personalized financial education by Enrich™, it features the Your Money PersonalityTM financial behavior assessment, which analyzes each user’s financial “personality.” The platform also provides:
Financial education courses with personalized action plans on topics including budgeting, mortgages, healthcare, college savings, student loan repayment, banking, credit, financial planning and more:
• Retirement and home affordability analyzers
• A suite of student loan and higher education tools
• Personal finance calculators and a real-time budget tool
“Personalized financial education by Enrich is the newest addition to Securian Financial’s Financial Wellness 360® program. We are excited to bring the Enrich platform to our retirement plan clients and their employees,” said Brandon Bellin, Retirement Solutions director and actuary, Securian Financial. “Financial stress is a major pain point for far too many Americans. Adding the Enrich tool to our financial wellness program will help our customers gain the confidence they need to build a secure financial foundation.”
Enrich is used by more than 20,000 employers and more than 300 financial institutions nationwide, with artificial intelligence technology that engages each user with the most relevant content based on financial situation and stage of life. The Enrich platform includes dynamic tools and courses, delivering a highly personalized and interactive learning experience on financial topics including student debt, mortgages, budgeting, investing, retirement and long-term care.
According to a 2021 Capital One CreditWise survey(1), 73 percent of Americans rank their finances as the most significant source of stress.
To combat financial stress, Enrich users are prompted to update their stress score regularly to gauge the correlation between improved financial wellness and stress levels. Data from 2019 shows that as Enrich participants improved financial understanding, their stress levels dropped by an average of 23 percent.
Additional Enrich data found positive behavior changes as a result of program participation, including:
• 27 percent increase in users with emergency savings funds to cover three to six months of expenses
• 28 percent increase in users that pay their credit cards in full every month
• 32 percent increase in employees getting on track with their financial goals
• 15 percent increase in users contributing to their retirement plan
“The Enrich platform can help people of all income levels and in all stages of life,” said iGrad founder and president Rob LaBreche. “Securian Financial is demonstrating the importance of financial wellness by offering Enrich to thousands of American workers who can access the platform virtually and receive customized financial wellness education specific to their needs and situation.”
